Journal ArticleDOI

A high plasma concentration of TNF-alpha is associated with dementia in centenarians.

Helle Bruunsgaard, +5 more
- 01 Jul 1999 - 
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that, even in apparently healthy subjects, age-associated immune activation indicated by raised levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines may reflect age- associated pathological processes that develop over decades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical and cognitive functioning of people older than 90 years: a comparison of two Danish cohorts born 10 years apart

Kaare Christensen, +9 more
- 02 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: Despite being 2 years older at assessment, the 1915 cohort scored significantly better than the 1905 cohort on both the cognitive tests and the activities of daily living score, which suggests that more people are living to older ages with better overall functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha and mortality in centenarians.

Helle Bruunsgaard, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2003 - 
TL;DR: TNF-alpha was an independent prognostic marker for mortality in persons aged 100 years, suggesting that it has specific biological effects and is a marker of frailty in the very elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Healthy centenarians do not exist, but autonomous centenarians do: a population-based study of morbidity among Danish centenarians.

Karen Andersen-Ranberg, +2 more
- 01 Jul 2001 - 
TL;DR: Assessment of the prevalence of common illnesses in an unselected population of centenarians finds that diarrhoea, vomiting, and constipation are the most common illnesses among centenarian patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

No association between telomere length and survival among the elderly and oldest old.

Claus Bischoff, +7 more
- 01 Mar 2006 - 
TL;DR: This longitudinal study of the elderly and oldest old does not support the hypothesis that telomere length is a predictor for remaining lifespan once age is controlled for, and instead shows that among 175 twin pairs in which at least one died during follow up, it was the twin with the shorter telomerre length who died first.
